Khuda Gawah (transl. With God as Witness, also translated and released as God Is My Witness[1]) is a 1992 Indian epic drama film written and directed by Mukul S. Anand. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Sridevi (in a double role), Nagarjuna, Shilpa Shirodkar, Danny Denzongpa, Kiran Kumar in pivotal roles. The music was composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal. The film marked Sridevi and Bachchan's third collaboration after Inquilaab (1984) and Aakhree Raasta (1986). In the film, Badshah Khan travels from Afghanistan to India to find the killer of Benazir's father so that he can impress her. He succeeds but soon finds himself framed for a murder and trapped in an Indian prison. Made on a budget of ₹57 million, it was one of the most expensive films of its time, just below Ajooba (1991) which also starred Bachchan.
Khuda Gawah was released worldwide on 7 May 1992. Upon release, the film received critical acclaim from critics, praising the performances, direction, and music, with some criticism aimed at its lengthy runtime. It was also the third highest-grossing film of 1992, just behind beta and Deewana. It also entered Limca Book of Records as the first Indian film to use surround sound technique. The film was dubbed in Telugu and was later adapted into a Pakistani television series of the same name.[2] It is one of the most watched Indian films in Afghanistan's history.[3]
At the 38th Filmfare Awards, Khuda Gawah received a leading 9 nominations, including Best Film, Best Actor (Bachchan), Best Actress (Sridevi) and Best Supporting Actress (Shirodkar) and won 4 awards including Best Director (Anand) and Best Supporting Actor (Denzongpa) and Best Action.
